A couple of weeks ago my husband and I were able to spontaneously get away for the weekend. We headed to the Dillon Beach/Bodega Bay area. I asked a good friend (who is a foodie) for restaurant recommendations and she raved about P30 in Sebastopol. I looked them up on the web before we left to check out their menu and get directions. While poking around their site I visited the “Featured Recipes” page and yelped out loud when I saw this:
No, not the lollipops (though they are yelp worthy). What was Divine Twine doing there? Turns out Christine, one of the owners of P30, thought it was cute and was sweet enough to share it on their site. I was touched and thrilled!
We had a lovely dinner at P30 and the food was delicious! We tasted about a quarter of the menu and would have licked the bowl the Lemon Verbena Pot de Creme came in if it was socially acceptable. I highly recommend a visit to anyone in the Bay Area. I met Christine and give a her a few spools of twine as a Thank You.
Such a small, small world.

Erin from Confectionary Concepts and E-L-A Designs let me know about this fun birthday bunting she made using Divine Twine™ and a paper punch. I love the idea of surprising someone by decorating their workspace. So clever! Thanks Erin! PS: Erin also has a cute etsy shop.

I had one of the nicest brides, Joanna, contact me needing help with her wedding favors. She wanted to give each of her guests a set of her favorite recipes. I supplied her with a PDF Printable of the recipe card that coordinated with her colors, she typeset her recipes and I had them printed and collated for her. She’s going to tie them up with some Orange Divine Twine. Pretty, useful and memorable. I think her idea is perfect!
UPDATE July 7th: Due to Carly’s comment, the Red, Orange & Peach Swirls Recipe Card set is now available in the shop. Thanks Carly!

See this…
It’s in here…
Thirty-two might just be my new favorite number (scooch over 33). That’s cause 32 is the page number that Divine Twine is featured on in the June 2010 issue of Martha Stewart Living! Happy dance, jazz hands, ginormous smile all at the same time. I got my hands on an issue yesterday (delivered to me along with a cupcake from my best pal, Denise) and have left it on my counter open to page 32. It’s a surreal experience every time I walk by it.

Every once in a while a customer sends me a photo or two of how they’ve used their Divine Twine. I love seeing what people come up with. Lisa Pearson sent me the photo collage below. Oh my! Lisa’s not only thoughtful, but stunningly creative! Thanks Lisa!
